Rooibos tea is Africa's gift to the tea world, grown only in a limited geographic area this small bush dots the beautiful Cedar Burg mountains of South Africa.

Rooibos tea is not a true tea in the pure definition as it does not derive from the tea bush. Rooibos tea has a rich warm flavour that is a perfect canvas for flavour blends.

Traditionaly rooibos tea is drunk with milk and sugar, and is perfectly suited both to preparing it unadorned, with milk or even as rich rooibos latte.

Rooibos tea is gaining worldwide popularity as a soothing alternative. Rich in anti-oxidants and caffiene free, rooibos tea is a great way to strengthen the body while calming the mind.

Rooibos tea grades are largely related to the percentage "needle" or leaf to stem content in the mix.

A higher leaf content will result in a darker liquor, richer flavour and less "dusty" after taste. The high grade rooibos are usually exported and do not reach local market. Rather the best produce is exported with major consumers being EU, particularly Germany, where it is used in creating flavoured blends for loose leaf tea markets.

Unlike most other suppliers the Teabox retains these quality grades for both local and international wholesale. If you are interested in premium rooibos products, and innovative rooibos products then look no further than teabox.
